Pinball

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1406316863' post='2510619'] Yes fantastic basses, I have the P bass and previously owned the bass Pinball is referring too. A lot of bass for the money. I treated my P to a BassDoc tort guard and changed the pick up for an SD one, the stock pick up was really good but I prefer the SD for a more vintage sound. The P's have jazz width necks too. So yeah I highly rate Farida's and mine has been with me for a few months now...which is a miracle in my books [/quote] Nice, The hypersonic now has Rotosound Jazz Flats on it and still has all its power and tone plus a mighty thud. You don't see that many P's around so well done on finding one

I agree with all above and it may be worth you watching out for an older SR. I had an SR1300 with a Bart P/J set up that was a killer bass. The only 4 stringer I had that could compete with it is my Hypersonic.

I still have my Hypersonic FB-20 even though I'm playing 5 stringers. They seem undervalued to me and its just too good to sell cheap. I would kick myself if I sold it and then went back to 4 strings in the future. Great basses!

I'll be interested if I'm not busy. I prefer somewhere we can get a drink or something to eat,

I love mine, little purple ones-see link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_(plant)

That sounds like a bargain. I'm not familiar with Streamers but have an FNA. Try it and if you like it snap it up.

Looks great, congratulations.

[/quote] I have one of the "single" ones and find it limiting so would also suggest paying a few quid more for the Mic Mechanic as it sounds like its designed for your use

Hi, TC do some great pedals and from what you say I think this is what you need. [url="http://www.tc-helicon.com/introducing-mic-mechanic/"]http://www.tc-helico...g-mic-mechanic/[/url]

I remember them, never saw them back in the day so may check them out. Always an interesting band

Are there any big names you would like to see that haven't played. I wouldn't like to guess who has and who hasn't. Although I'm pretty sure Mulligan and O'hare haven't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2CsBz_cKY

That sounds great fun. I love that film score, my kids loved the film and played it over and over. I had a soft spot for Audrey, the girl not the plant. ....and this scene is enough to put you off dentists for life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB7R0ZxNgC4

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1402949728' post='2478281'] I don't play fivers but my 4 string MIJ SR1300 (paduak/mahogany sandwich version) is a most incredible bass. Extremely high quality [/quote] This was mine briefly and I concur. It's an absolute peach in terms of action, looks and sound. If I played 4's it would still be mine. It oozes quality. I'm glad you still have it and it found a good home.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1403368883' post='2482198'] In the end I went for the Fender CD-140s. It wasn't as loud as the Yamaha FG700 (these two were head to head at the end) and was warmer so obviously not as bright and in your face but for me, that was an advantage. I did think the CD-140 was worth the £100 more than the CD-60 but really, if you have a limited budget give the CD-60 a go, they're fantastic value. In the end the thinner gloss coating, satin neck, solid mahogany top and all round richer warmer sound of the CD-140 over the CD-60 won over (once I'd decided this was the sound I wanted rather than the brighter sound of the Yamaha). [/quote] I was there and I agree with your assessment. The CD-60 was OK to mess around on at home and great for the price but not up to serious gigging or recording in my opinion. The CD-140 and FG700 were better quality and you could hear it. You got a nice guitar there. Congratulations

Can someone expelling to me the term "noise gate"? Is that similar to a noise limiter?

I bought a pedal from Steve and it arrived quickly as as described. Thanks for a good and easy deal

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1402740740' post='2476419'] Ouch - sorry to hear that - are you getting it fixed or replacing it? [/quote] [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1402742876' post='2476443'] Sorry to hear about the bass Pinball.. hope it's all sorted quick for you, [/quote] Good news, I got the neck replaced and a set up yesterday and the seller re-funded me today. This afternoon I used in a mini practise in someones house and all went well. It performed admirably. I can't wait to hear it with the amps cranked up but that will have to wait for a bit. Also two bits of praise for it already. One from the guitarist today and the other for the build quality from the guy who fixed it. That is a complement indeed as previously he has moaned about every guitar of bass I have taken to him Now I need to check that it is working well with everything is working in my guitar > Pedal > amp chain. Thanks for all the advice. I'm lucky to have some nice basses to choose from. Note: I'll have to try and narrow it back down to 3 at some point but no risk as I love them all.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1402742876' post='2476443'] Sorry to hear about the bass Pinball.. hope it's all sorted quick for you, [/quote] Yes I'm taking it in to get looked at today. The seller is being very helpful. It's hard work this getting a Stingray but shouldn't be long now.
